BRADFORD EXCITED.
Great Interest Taken in the County
Site Election.

AIbSISSO III tuS county
Site Election.
STARKE, FLA, July 30.-Bradford county
is excited over the coming election for a
change of county site, which comes Off Aug.
II. There is an effort being made to stave
1t Off by certain parties living at Lake But
Ter, the present SITE but from present APP
pearances it will be unsuccessful. The ind-
cations are that Starke will be successful in
the coming election. This is by far the
largest and most important town in the
county, and is nearer the geographical cen
ire of the county than the present site, and
is growing rapidly. During the last five
years it has increased in population from
500 to about 800 inhabitants
Starke can boast of educational facilities
second TO no town in the State.
We are having too much rain, and the
farmers are not 50 sanguine in regard TO the
coming cotton crop. Corn in this section of
Bradford county is better than it has been
in years. and our orange crop is the largest
ever known, although the fruit will be rusty
Orange trees are now putting on an i'm
mense growth under the combined influence
of an almost vertical sun and the rainy
season. A Mr.. Strong, who purchased the
celebrated Hounsic grove last winter, on
Sampson Lake, Is building the most elegant
winter residence in Starlie to be found in
this section Of the State. Mr.. Strong is a
nan OF considerable wealth aud will be a
valuable acquisition To our city.

timated cost at $1,000.
Mr.. NclnsS on the question of the separa-
ton Of women and children from other con-
victs, said he believed@te was the first 10
recommend it, He believed it was what the
State ought TO do, and was satisfied that
they could be made self sustaining. He also
favored establishing a board Of pardons.
In reference TO scurVy in convict camps, he
said he didn't believe DR.. Westmoreland
knew scurvy when he saw it, and had known
him to fail badly on that disease. He con-
sdered DR. Wcstmoreland a fine surgeon,
but doubted his knowledge of medicines
The first bill approved by the Governor
was signed yesterday. 1t amends the char
ter of Atlanta so az to fix the sinking fund

PLEADING FOR WINGARD
The Governor has received petition from
a number of citizens of Savannah in behalf
Of William Wingard They do not ask
pardon, but beg that he may he placed with
n kind, humane lessee who will not force
him to do a mans work, as the boy is not
strong, is umaccustOmed to hard labor, and
III the opinion of physicians has enlargement
of the heart. The Governor will do what
is right in the premises.
Henry Redding, She negro who was sent
up for life from Houston county in 1869 for
arson, will be pardoned. When young
man he and two Others were in Houston
county jail for stealing cotton They tried
TO escape by building fire under the lock
of the Jail door. They were caught, tried
and convicted for arson and given life
sentence. Tho other two succeeded years
ago in escaping from the pcuitcntiary, but
Redding has all the time been serving out
his sentence and is now at Cole City. IIav-
ing no one 10 intercede for him he was per
mitted by Supt Reese to write TO the Coy
ernor his story and ask for mercy. The
Governor looked into the case, found the
story true and found that the Supreme
Court, 50 Georgia, page SO, deciding
another case, held that the offense of which
Redding was convicted was not arson but
an attempt to escape. The Governor will
pardon him at once BEDDING has for nlne-
teen years been serving an illegal sentence.
